In "Enter the Dragon" Bruce Lee is confronted by a bully who asks "What is your style?" Bruce Lee responds with "You could call it the art of fighting without fighting." True to his words Lee cleverly proceeds to defeat the bully without a fight.
The RKC school of strength has a similar approach to strength training in that we emphasize technique over routines. Each training session is viewed as a practice as opposed to a workout with focus on making each rep at consecutive rep better than the last. So, in the end I suppose you could say the RKC emphasizes working out without working out.
Today's "Work-Out" was short and simple consisting of two techniques: the hardstyle kettlebell snatch and the Kalos Sthenos Getup.
Warm-up: 5-minute RKC Snatch Test
100 24kg/53lb kettlebell snatches without setting the bell down (30 left, 30 right, 20 left, 20 right) in 4 minutes and 15 seconds.

4 32kg/70lb getups per arm switching arms after each rep.
